Modification and improvements of 41999. Pimp my BOSS!

Would it be possible to put 2 extra L motors in? They would go on top of the existing L motors to give it twice as much power

[Laservampire]

I'd love to see one of these on a set of tiny wheels, haha.

I am a proud owner but am I the only one that thinks the profile proportion is way off??? The wheelbase is way to short for the body it looks funny. I'm working on modding and improving the wheelbase at the moment. Will post when done.

I already posted this somewhere, but I totally agree. It's an awesome looking model, but from the side something is just not right. Would love to see a different wheelbase. Maybe a contest

Don't get me wrong, I really like the overall design. From most angles it looks absolutely fantastic. And in no way I could create a design like this. But still....

Maybe it's the wheels that are too big proportionally, but making them smaller would even look weirder, cause it's still a crawler.

Guess it's just the "hybridness" of the model, combining the muscle car with the crawler.

Still, I am really interested to see a wheelbase 2 or 4 studs longer.

PS I must admit that now I am looking more and more I get used to it

Very simple photoshop

With such longer wheel base you'll be hitting the body, when spring compresses. So you'll need either lift up the arches, or move respective ones to the front and rear, but this will again make wheelbase appearing shorter.

thats the reason why i build a complete new chassis

edit

please note that the rear wheels only placed for this picture, because iam waiting for the buggy motors

[camaudio]

thanks looks great!

[Trawler Man]

That really does look great, Efferman. Packin' that 8th Gen. Chevy Suburban vibe.

Which wheels / tires are those? They look nice.

I think the front end is kind of ugly without the bumpers

[efferman]

the front bumper will come, i only dont have a good idea for this at this time

[aol000xw]

The chassis is a couple studs too long and a lot to be done... or scraped, It is a silly idea, but somehow love it

A work in progress...

Real gangsta!

[MrNumbskull13]

That was pretty damn cool.

[JohannesESTONIA]

For me it was perfect enough! I only removed the winches clutch gear once to see what it can do, and it pulled 9398 easily

[JM1971]

Hulk Mod :D

[N-4K0]

Oh, you could modify the roof above the driver seat to look torn open and get one of the large Hulk figs to put behind the wheel, that would look even better although it might be a bit too bit to fit in...

I think he would fit in there, remove the battery box and move some cables around :)

[Technyk32231]

If you removed the battery box, how would it drive?

[kevman]

so the gear swap on the motors was not that great. I didn't even have enought torque for flat carpet at that point. I am wondering if someone could share some ideas on how to speed it up without sacrificing torque? Or maybe putting in a 2-speed gearbox so it can be switched from high mode to low mode as needed?
